WEG d6 Star Wars is tough to beat, the one one which makes use of simply d6 and supersedes it’s Traveller.

Yeah for me I flip flop on whether or not Traveller or the fanmade Revised, Expanded and Updated SWd6 guidelines are one of the best d6 guidelines. I feel I gravitate extra in direction of Traveller as a result of the character creation is so superior and distinctive. I don’t know why different video games did not steal it tbh.

It could be very polarizing I feel — folks both love Traveller character technology or loath it. I do know none (though I’m positive they’re on the market) who’re ambivalent. My spouse loves character technology, however has by no means performed. I like character technology greater than the precise gameplay, which I discover gradual and clunky. So many pluses and minuses to every roll to find out and observe every time. Been enthusiastic about methods to pace it up however retain similar taste.

I like the thought of all the 12 months zero video games I personal – you simply use d6’s and solely 6’s depend for essentially the most half (successes), the remainder of the methods may be form of wonky although. Having so as to add up giant piles of cube is not my favourite decision mecanic.

Same right here. My spouse and I performed our first VTT session final evening and it was our first time taking part in a Modiphius system — John Carter of Mars. So many numbers particular guidelines and caveats and addendum. You add up successes for the attacker, then the defender, then determine in the event you get any bonus momentum, decide in the event you really succeeded, after which roll for injury (which both wants their particular 6 sided cube or so that you can bear in mind what every quantity really means).

My spouse felt the system actually bought in the best way of function taking part in. Even the those who had been taking part in for 18 months weren’t comfy with the foundations. She appreciates extra our homebrew which is single die opposed rolls. (Dice on all sides are virtually at all times totally different sizes — not a d6-only system.)

IMHO for me and associates the longer the decision time is (both determining what mechanics to invoke, methods to use them, or really utilizing them) the much less enjoyable/immersive the sport is.

That’s my concern w/ Fate proper now, which is definitely wonderful (I’m utilizing Fate condensed) – nonetheless you continuously have to determine which set of baroque mechanics to make use of and methods to use them, and in the event you do it incorrect you get an un-fun consequence. But you are probably not studying something as a result of the following state of affairs is totally different. Once you do determine it out thought the decision is fairly fast.

I’m going make a cheat sheet for John Carter with all of the totally different attribute mixtures and doable skills (like feats or expertise) my character has for various actions. I’ll do the identical for my spouse’s character. I did not really feel too dangerous about continuously asking what I used to be supposed to make use of because it was my first time taking part in and the oldsters taking part in for 18 months had hassle retaining it straight too.

I can not think about it ever being fast although. LOL

I wish to confess that coming from a polyhedral background,  I went from considering it was bizarre and maybe a bit boring to base all the pieces on d6’s solely; to actually liking the even better variety of totally different polyhedral cube in DCC; to deciding that each one that stuff was enjoyable and attention-grabbing, however not what I actually wished in gaming.  Then I ended up contemplating d6 solely, and that i liked it.  There are alternative ways to do it.  There are extra prospects than one would assume.

D6 based mostly RPGs are cool, man!!!
